2. Heard Sri K.Venkataramanaiah, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri L.Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, for respondent Nos.1 to 4 and perused the record.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner herein is the local resident of Kommepally Village and conducting social activities in the locality and the government allotted 2 guntas to each family total sanctioned 244 house plots to project displaced families under JVR OC Project under scheme of Rehabilitation and Resettlement in Kommepally village, Sathupally Mandal, Khammam District and passed award in the year 2018 and allotted plots to 229 families and remaining 12 plots are vacant plots and declared the same ineligible displaced persons.

4. Thereafter, respondent No.3 conducted a detailed enquiry about the ineligible beneficiaries of 12 members who occupied the 12 plots and who are not eligible to Rehabilitation and Resettlement scheme and submitted a report to respondent No.2 vide proceedings Rc.No.B/2992/2007, dated 31.12.2020 to take further action. The said 12 plots are not allotted to anybody till today and the same are occupied by illegally and erected sheds, when the petitioner found the same, he submitted representation dated 27.11.2025 to respondent No.3 to take action and resume said plots to the government or allot the eligible persons by removing illegal encroachment, but till date no action has been taken. Hence, the present writ petition.

5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue would submit that the petitioner has not demonstrated the violation of any statutory provision, rule, or legally enforceable right. The relief sought is in the nature of a general administrative direction, which cannot be issued at the instance of a third party having no personal stake in the matter. Hence, seeks to pass the appropriate orders.

6. In the light of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and upon perusal of the material available on record, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner admittedly is neither an allottee nor an affected displaced person under the Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Scheme of the JVR OC Project. Merely claiming to be a local resident and a social worker does not confer any enforceable legal right. It is a settled principle of law that a writ petition can be maintained only by a person whose legal or fundamental rights are directly infringed. Since the petitioner does not claim ownership, possession, or entitlement over the subject plots, the petition is liable to be dismissed.

7. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. N
